Progress on the WW is accelerating. Seems like everyday major progress. The finished layer of crushed gravel on the pedestrian path, looks and feels great ! The new Grovedale bridge is beautiful !!!

Pat Hunley, who lives next to the trail, has been a WW supporter for many years. She came to several of our community meetings and gave us some good suggestions. It is neat to see that she is so excited about the WW that she shot this short video. facebook.com/wassonwayproje…

The progress continues on the WW as we get ready to open Phase 1 on July 28th. Stones from the old Grovedale bridge were placed as seating in the small park behind Withrow HS.They just poured concrete at the Tamarack access point on Friday. Burch is next! It is looking good!!!!

Prus is really pushing to finish up the trail. So exciting to see major progress. The entire trail got its final coat of asphalt today...and it looks soooo good.

When you come to the Ribbon Cutting on Saturday at 9:30am be sure to get a FREE raffle ticket from one of the Wasson Way Board members that will greet you (say thanks to them for all their work!). Besides prizes... you need a raffle ticket to get your LaRosa's pizza.

It is hard to believe that it was only a year ago that we had the WW Groundbreaking! Despite the cold rain (we probably had 30 people plus TV cameras under a 12'x12' tent!) it was a great day! Before photos!

This recent post by friend John Schneider caught our attention....Cincinnati is BOOMING !!! We once had a population of 500,000 in 1960. If we could add 100,000 to our current population of 300,000 that would be great IMO...what do you think? facebook.com/wassonwayproje…
